Error E000-0002 Canon imagePRESS C910: Technical Solution
The Canon imagePRESS C910 error E000-0002 is a safety alert code indicating overheating in the thermal fixing unit. This error occurs when temperature sensors register levels outside the operational range, triggering an immediate system lock to prevent fires or permanent equipment damage. Caution and cooling are required before handling the unit.
Common causes
- 1Failure of the fuser temperature control circuit.
- 2Stuck thermistor or reading error due to excess dirt.
- 3Thermal overload from continuous printing of non-certified materials.
- 4Failure in the main heater power relay.
Solutions
Quick Diagnosis
The E000-0002 occurs after attempts to print on high-weight media or when the fixing unit suffers a thermistor failure. If the equipment emits a very loud fan noise after the error appears, the system has detected a critical heat buildup.Step-by-Step Solution
- Full Disconnection: Turn off the equipment and disconnect the power cable. Allow the machine to rest for 20 minutes to let the fuser dissipate all accumulated heat.
- Visual Check: Remove the fuser unit and ensure there are no remnants of adhesive material or burnt paper preventing roller rotation.
- Service Mode Reset: This error locks the operating system. A technician must access service mode to validate thermal history and reset the safety alert.
Prevention and Maintenance
Always use the correct paper profile in the equipment menu so the fuser temperature adjusts automatically to the material type. Clean the fuser periodically with Canon-approved supplies.When to Call a Technician
This E000-0002 error is at a critical level. If after cooling the equipment doesn't start and the panel keeps the code, the system has detected a permanent failure in a thermal component (fuse or thermistor) that only an official technician can replace.Equipment Technical Data

Steps to follow
- 1
Full Disconnection
Turn off the equipment and unplug from the main power source to allow deep cooling.
- 2
Fuser Verification
Open the fuser unit and ensure there are no physical obstructions in the thermal rollers.
- 3
Service Mode Reset
Ask the maintenance technician for access to clear the error code and validate thermal history.
Frequently asked questions
The E000-0002 error indicates that the temperature of the fixing unit has exceeded the safety limit, triggering thermal protection.
Sometimes a prolonged shutdown works, but since it's a critical safety error, the system usually requires a technical reset to unlock.
Incompatible synthetic papers or labels with low heat resistance adhesives can stick to the fuser, raising its temperature.
Keep the work environment climate-controlled and perform professional cleaning of the fuser unit periodically.
